Hello Marilyn

Thaw = auftauen
Tau = dew

I've seen German names translated such as Kurz into Short, so this is a possibility.

Looked quickly on FamilySearch, a lot of "Taus", many Asian but there were a number in Germany and Holland.

Happy hunting

I didn't know where to put this link which is of the German-Canadian Museum of Applied History.  This is devoted to the Braunchweig region of Germany and gives details of various armies including names.

Hello searchers Wink
If i keep hitting a brick wall, i send a e-mail to the city where my great-aunt,
her husband and daughter where born. My great-aunt and her family, moved from Brighton to Merseburg. She was born British, her husband German.
